Hydrostatic pressure and abundant soil are usually the reason for most bowing wall problems, Hydrostatic pressure increases as the clay soil around your foundation gets saturated with water and expands pushing exerting an enormous amount of pressure against your basement walls. The force will eventually exceed the strength of your walls, causing them to break, crack and bow. During the dry season clay soil will dry up and shrink away from your foundation, withdrawing support from your walls.
This constant wall movement can have devastating effects on your home~s structural integrity.
When you notice horizontal cracks in poured walls, stairstep cracks in block walls, contact Scaldino Basement Solutions as soon as possible.
